This great old villa was a good choice for our group of 12 cyclists. Lots of room, plenty of bedrooms, and a great place for the bikes and cars. The dining room is easily the best space in the villa, 12 for dinner with plenty of room left over. All the china, silverware and glasses matched so the table set for dinner was a great sight. The wine (maybe from the owner's vineyard) was an nice addition, just have a bottle from the sideboard and they add it to the settlement at the end. The views are spectacular and those that used the pool said it was a wonderful place. The caretaker offered her cooking services so we did that one night and it was a great meal at a great price. One negative is the beds. We stayed in the "master bedroom" and the bed was old and collapsing, quite a disappointment for a week's stay. I thought ours might be the only worn out bed but others had the same situation. The other tacky parts of the villa could easily be accepted as "quaint" and old but worn out beds aren't much fun after a day of cycling. I think the internet service is spotty in rural Italy overall but in the villa the only access point was in the kitchen and it only worked in the kitchen. On the bright side, it did create a good group gathering place! The wine bistro around the corner was really nice after a day's ride, the staff was great and the wine very good. If they take care of the bed issue we'd all come back for another trip.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Le Volte unit. It was close to the "town square" (just a 3 or 4 minute walk) where we enjoyed going to market day on Tuesday and getting gelato and cappuccino daily. The owner, Roberto, was very helpful in ensuring we had what we needed and pointing us to the sights we needed to see. There was so much to see within 45 minutes of the villa. The villa was just as described and pictured on the website. Would certainly stay there again

Very nice lovely location. Would have been good to have a welcome pack in the apartment and the use of an iron and ironing board in the laundry room. Also the information you provided about shop opening hours was incorrect. All the supermarkets are open until 8pm on Saturdays and some are open on Sunday morning, including the one at the end of the road (Eurospin).
